Santa

  HMM!  A picture says a thousand words huh?  Is it terrible that I love this custom of torturing my children with Santa?  Adrienne wants horsies - she likes horses right now.  Amelia wants to be away from Santa. 

So I have been talking so much about how spicy Amelia is lately and boom - she is turning into such a little cuddly cutie.  Man is she cute.  She still goes after her sister.  Adrienne is not a fan.  Amelia loves to dance.  I need to get a video of it as it is ridiculously cute!  she kind of bends over at her side and shakes her head to the beat - large smile on her face.  Amelia, like her sister, is not a talker.  Apparently they like to wait awhile before they say much more than "HI!" and "BYE" and the occasional mama and dada.  Adrienne says the cutest things.  Well I think they are cute.  The other day she wanted to change Cinderella's dress - instead of ball gown she says baseball outfit.  I love the mixing up of words.  When you ask Adrienne to do somthing she says "Sure"  - comes out soor.  She is learning how to manipulate (oh joy)  When we are done reading the stories she picks out at night she infoms us that those were bad stories and she needs a different one.  She is using this tactic with food and drink as well.  Super fun.

Moving to Winter

So it is really wintery!  Which means we are inside a lot more.  It is hard to keep these two kids occupied.  So we play with bags on our heads.  Seems weirdly fun.  There are lots of cute things going on.  And some not so cute.  Amelia will not have any trouble sticking up for herself!  In fact I am kind of worried that she might bulldoze over Adrienne.  It is great to see them play together but when things go south it is usually Amelia with the upper hand.  I think one day we had to stop her from strangling Adrienne with the necklace she was wearing.  Lots of action around here.  Adrienne continues to grow.  She is so empathetic and sweet.  She tries to be quiet when Amelia is sleeping - she decided she can't flush the toliet when her sister is sleeping because it might wake her up.  Even though it is on a different floor. 

Halloween

Jeesh - i forgot to post for awhile!  Here are some Halloween pics - very cute.

  
 




For some reason i did a TERRIBLE job of taking Halloween pictures!  Note to self - do better next year.

This was a lot of fun.

FALL!!

One Year Old

One year has gone by sweetie!  Amazing.  You are such a character.  You have no problem expressing yourself.  You aren't afraid of anything.  You are a walker and a climber (yikes).  You like to say "HI" but that is about it.  So dreamy. 
 
 Here you are stuffing your face with CAKE!


 

East Coast

The Moog family took a trip back east in early October to visit grandparents and great grandparents and great aunts and uncles!  We had a lot of fun.  This was Amelia's first time in a plane - she did pretty good.  Amelia is significantly more wiggly than Adrienne was at this age so there was some wrestling that needed to occur.  We had lots of fun in VA and PA.  Spent time taking walks, swimming in the Rappahannock, going up and down the stairs with Grandpa, having tea parties, playing dress up and generally having a great time.













 

Eleven Months and Three something

My little cheerleaders - HOW CUTE!  Adrienne - you are so sweet.  You are really growing into an empathetic sweet little sweetie................until you aren't.  And then you are a turd.  (AH - what a sweet mother I am)  Amelia - you are smiley and energetic and into EVERYTHING and generally a turd that can sometimes be super sweet.  Amelia took her first unassisted steps a couple days ago - but hasn't again.  Adrienne started ballet again and dances all the time.  Adrienne also likes to make up songs with words like princess adrienne and bubble gum.  When you have a bad dream Adrienne, it is always about a bad horsey chasing you - When you have a good dream it is always about bubble gum.  Amelia you are so tickled to brumski your mouth (is that what it is?) and wave and smile and when we say "who's the cutest baby" you kinda lift your arm - not as much as adrienne did though.
